  • We need to put God back into our city. Any policies that do not agree with our Judeo-Christian principals our constitution was founded on need to be eliminated.
  • We need to remove leaders that go against the safety of our citizens. We currently have leaders that won't cooperate with the US Border Patrol to help with the illegals being deported. We need to have leaders that are supportive of fighting crime and help eliminate the illegals and cartels that are supplying the homeless with drugs and encouraging crime.
  • We need leaders that will be transparent and be a conduit for their constituents and not keep secret back room deals.
We need to cut back on government regulations that keep small businesses from prospering. School academic perfromance continues to plummet while school districts cost explode. Parents should have school choice regardless if their state representitives vote against their wishes. Through research and outreach we need to promote liberty, opportunity, and free enterprise in San Antonio.
City governments are an important part of state governments because they are responsible for providing essential services and addressing local needs, which are crucial for the overall well-being of the state and its citizens.

City governments direct;y impact citizens' daily lives by providing essential services like police and fire protection, public works, (streets, utilities), parks and recreation, and local transportation.
Cities are the primary level of government closest to citizens, allowing for more direct interaction and responsiveness to local needs and concerns.
City governments implement state policies and laws at the local level ensuring that state mandates are carried out effectively and that local needs are addressed.
Cities play a vital role in economic development by managing local economies, attracting businesses, and promoting job growth, which contributes to the state's overall economic health.
While cities are responsible for local affairs, they operate under the aughority granted by the state, meaning state law sets the framework for city governance.
City governments often collaborate with state agencies and other local entities to address shared issues and implement programs.

Local governments are foundational to democacy, tasked with maintaining order and improving community life. When citizens vote, they entrust officials with significant powers, such as levying taxes, to meet municipal goals.
I follow the bible. There are so many pratical principals that are in our constitution. Even if you are not religious. they are fair and just for all. The bible is based on everyone is equal regardless of color or wealth and everyone is treated the same. If you don't work, you don't eat. Basic stuff we need to get back to.
Well Versed, Biblical Answers to today's Tough Issues by James L. Garlow
Integrity, transparancy, and fair treatment are high on my list. Leaders that are a conduit for their constituants and listen to all the variables before making decisions. A leader needs to represent the voice of their constituants and not their personal agenda.
As an effective council member I bring to the table a blend of skills and qualities, including strong communication, integrity, strategic thinking, and a commitment to serving the public, while also being knowledgeable about local issues and procudures.
The core responsibilities for an elected office should be to follow the governing documents of the position. In the city council the local city charter should be followed. A clear understanding of the charter should be obtained for anyone running for city council office. Our current city leaders have passed items that are against our city charter and against the state law. They must be aware of the guidelines to not cost taxpayers with costly law suits that cost taxpayers money for them not following the law.

Local governments should involve citizens and interest groups in the policymaking process in a variety of ways, such as public comment periords druing regular meetings and special neighborhood meetings on issues affecting that area. Those who are not satified with the outcomes of their representataives need to vote for other candidates.

President Kennedy being killed. I was 9 years old
Payroll clerk for 500 employees. I had the job for a couple years.
The Bible, It is an amazing story of how to live your life.
Cinderalla
Turn your eyes upon Jesus, by Selah
Other people that lie and have unfair practices favoring evil.
Our current city council has approved items that they do not have the authority to do so and has caused law suits that taxpayers have to pay for because of their neglient actions. They have approved the Marvel project to be on the ballot even though the majority of their constituients don't want the project. They have already decided to hire a project manager for the Marvel project and it has not even been voted on the November ballot.
I believe experience is always good but not necessary. Any business person who has negeotiaded deals would be able to follow basic principals to make the best decisions.
For an effective city council member, the best skills include strong communication, negotiation, and leadership abiliites, along with knowledge of local government, policy, and budgeting.
City council membes uniquely possess a blend of leadership, community engagement, and legislative skills, including the ability to negotiate, understand local laws, and prioritize the needs of their constituents, while also maintaining integrity and a focus on the long-term well being of the city.

City council members need to be able to think long-term and make decisions that benefit the city as a whole, not just individual interest.
They must be able to identify problems, analyze situations, and develop effective solutions, often in a collaborative manner.
City council members often need to negotiate with developers, other government agencies, and even their own constituents to reach consensus and more project forward.
They must act with honesty and transparency, and always put the needs of the city and it residents avove personal gain.
Effective communicatin is crcial for connecting with residents, explaining complesx issues, and gathering feedback.
They must be actively ijnvolved in their community, attending meetings, participating in events, and responding to citizen concerns.
City coundil members need to be able to understand the needs and concerns of different groups within their city and work to address them.
Building strong relationships with city staff, other elected officials, and community members is essential for effective governance.
They need to be familiar with the laws and regulations that govern their city, including zoning, budgeting, and public safety.
City council members play a key role in setting city budget and ensuring that funds are used effectively.
They need to be able to analyze data and make informed decisions based on evidence.

City council work can be challenging and time-consuming, requiring patience and perserverance to see projects through to completion.
Two nuns are ordered to paint a room in the convent, with a warning

from the Mother Superior not to get even a drop of paint on their
habits.

After conferring about this, the two nuns decide to lock the door of
the room, strip off their habits, and paint naked...

In the middle of the project, there's a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" calls one of the nuns.

"Blind man," replies a voice from the other side of the door.

The two nuns look at each other and shrug, both deciding that no harm
can come from letting a blind man into the room. They open the door.

"Nice boobs," says the man. "Where do you want the blinds?

We need to unite those with Christian values to take a stand to protect our nation. The United States was the 1st country to be created from its inception as a democracy. Biblical and Jewish Values played a major role in this process. We have allowed atheist, secularist and infidels to pervert our constitution. It's time we stand up and say without apology: America was founded as a Christian Nation. We need crosses back where they have been taken down, put 10 commandments back in our courtrooms and bibles back in our schools.

  • We need to protect our religious freedoms and 1st Amendment rights.
  • We need to keep our right to bear arms.
  • We need to limit the government from interfering in our businesses and home life.
Upholding our U. S. Constitution and Amendment rights. We need to remove Congresspersons that do not support the required oath of office and support our American flag. We need to realize the threat to not live under Islamic law which is the #1 threat to the United States per your CIA.
I look up to God. I follow the bible as an example. It has all the answers on how to run your life and your business and our responsibilities to select righteous candidates to run for office.
Documentary: Agenda by Curtis Bowers
Book: Prayer, how school-prayer ruling changed America.
I believe a candidate should believe in our U. S. Constitution and the values that it was based on. Elected officials must walk their talk and represent their residents of their district and not the favored few.
For 35 years I have managed my business and worked in every capacity to run my business. Working in the commercial construction industry I am experienced at preparing budgets, cost estimating, managing projects.
On a daily basis, I made critical business decisions and worked out solutions for the best of all involved. I have the capability to see the whole picture and get to the bottom line. I always desire what is the best outcome for all involved.
The core responsibilities for the House of Representative are to make laws, declare war, and raise and provide public money and oversee it proper expenditure.
It would be great to help unite the American people to work together to build back America to the great nation it once was.
I remember John F. Kennedy being assassinated in 1963. I was 7 years old at the time.
My very first job was working for a manufacturing company. I started out as a file clerk and was promoted to assistant payroll clerk. I helped to prepare payroll for 500 employees on a weekly basis. I had the job for approximately a year.
The Bible, I read it every day and am inspired by it's living word.
Wonder Woman
Holy Water by We The Kingdom
It has always been a struggle growing up in a family without a father. My father was killed when my mother was 7 months pregnant. The lack of a father figure scared me emotionally.
The House of Representatives is based on the size of each state's population.
I believe that a representative needs to have previous experience in evaluating issues and making the right decisions based on what is good for everyone. Previous experience would be helpful.
Our greatest threat is not to live under Islamic law. We have many national issues that need to be addressed. Our greatest challenge will be to work together for the good of the American people and not be divisive over political parties.
Yes, foreign affairs, small business, and education.
Yes, I believe 2 years is a good term length.
I believe that term limits are necessary. I would think that 3-4 terms should be adequate.
I would be interested in joining the leadership in whatever role I may serve the best.
Trey Gowdy, Ted Cruz
There has been a common thread from the residents of my district. They do not feel the current representative is representing them and can't believe that he has not sponsored a bill in the 8 years he has been in office.
